Does the golf buddy platinum calculate elevation changes on the course

The one I have and use has only two dimension capability, therefore the answer is no. ( At least I have never found a way to do this, so the solution is to just play flst courses.Thanks

Mine did. But I would not recommend purchasing this item. Callaway will not be supporting this GPS after December. If you play the same course all of the time, then it would be OK, but don't expect to add any new courses in the future.

Turn on golf buddy using upper right hand button when on golf course. Seven sattelites will search and locate course you are on and will give you hole # and distance to back, middle and front of green. You need to do nothing else.

Doubtful. Ultimately a question for Game Golf. I would think you need two devices (and profiles) but you would probably see the stratification in distances on the club performance displays.

Yes it does to bunkers or water, but not sure how accurate it is. I have not verified it with another device. It is very accurate to greens.

No, there is not any elevation adjustment. Only windage adjustment on the front site. If you buy the front site, you can adjust for elevation.

Yes, it has "slope" data that shows steepness of current path (positive indicates uphill,negative indicates downhill). Here is the link of the user manual where he could check all the features of the device http://assets.timex.com/user_guides/W280_CycleTrainer/W280_CycleTrainer_NA_EN.pdfPS Im very happy with it, it works very well

Not to the flag but middle of the green. Depending on the course there are some margin of error. If you can it may be helpful calibrating with laser range finder.

The Bushnell Tour V2 that I bought was the slope edition. It really makes club selection easier. Still have to calc for the wind speed and direction though, but I can't see anything that can be developed that will help a golfer in club selection by compensating for the wind when calcing distance. I have three of these in different locations so I'm not hauling one around on the plane.

Yes, it shows the distance to hazards. Also, you don't have to download anything. In the U.S. version, I have found all the courses I have played, from NY to Nebraska, are pre-loaded.

It shows you distance to hazards. In terms of doglegs it shows "end of fairway". But at my home course it seems to measure that to the extreme end and not the closest end of fairway. Also I don't think this is available on all doglegs but just those that are extreme or have hazards through the fairway.

I'm not sure Greg. The elevation has considerable adjustment range. However, I zeroed in at 50 yards and haven't touched it since.

I only play the US courses so not sure on the International ones. It will give you all the courses in the immediate area when you select "Play Golf". I have had no problems with it, and it is convenient to have on your wrist. I previously had a SkyCaddie and this is cheaper and does everything I need.

I use this solely for golf and for the price it works well. It does not take into account elevation change and after 200 yards it gets a little tricky hitting the pin (if you can consistently hit the pin from 200+ with your shot you could probably land a sponsor and get a free rangefinder). If I cannot hit the pin with this I usually use a bunker or back edge to get within 10/15 yards.

Yes, many Canada courses are included but I would advise you to spend more money and buy a different brand. Calloway is getting out of the GPS business at the end of 2014. I have already sent mine back and purchased a Golf Buddy Platinum II for $229.00. The Calloway did not function very well and their software was idiotic.

YES---If you are operating in the Pro Mode (which must be downloaded from their website) for the course you are playing. you can push the center button and a "O" will appear at the top of the screen. As you move forward down the fairway the yardage is shownas a distance from your starting pointIf you are in the Basic Mode you can still "calculate" your driving distance by subtracting The Distance to the Green after you reach your Tee shot from the Distance to the Green reading before you hit. Either of these methods can be used for any shot.

The GPS is suppose to show yardage to certain points as well as to the green, as should also tell you how far you hit the ball. I havenot had time to play with anything but yardages to the green. I think you need to download the maps for each course for free. I have donethat but have not tried to do any of the options. The directions are quite vague. You may want to call the Bushnell tech line: 800-423-3537
